<h2 id="nonfreeassets">Non-free assets</h2>
<p>
OpenSpades contains non-free assets that were copied from the original
Ace of Spades games. The creators of OpenSpades were unabled to contact
the authos, so these assets were never released under an open licence.
</p>
<p>
Fortunately, there is a drop-in replacement for these assets available.
All models have been recreated under a CC0 licence and the sound effects
have been replaced by mostly CC0 equivalents with a few exceptions that
are CC-BY.
</p>
<h3>Installation</h3>
<ul>
<li>Download the libre assets: <a href="https://github.com/DeathByDenim/openspades-free-pak/releases/download/latest/pak001-Free.pak">pak001-Free.pak</a></li>
<li>Find the location of pak000-Nonfree.pak for your OpenSpades installation. For example <tt>/usr/share/openspades/Resources/</tt></li>
<li>Copy the downloaded pak001-Free.pak to the same location.</li>
<li>Optionally, delete pak000-Nonfree.pak. It it no longer needed because pak001-Free.pak will overrule all of the content in pak000-Nonfree.pak.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Connecting</h2>
<p>
When you start the game you will immediately enter the server
